The Journal-Press asks, in great
big letters: SIS St. Cloud a close cor
poration?' If the question were re-
ferred to Western Stearns the answer
would be trille paradoXical, but un-
equivecal. 1t is not close geographical
ly speaking, but far off as Il county
seat, by at least one half its remote
ness. Again, it is not only close. but
decidedly porcine. In the ordinary
sense of closeness as applied to in.
dividuals, it is almost as "close' as
the bark of beach tree. Yes, ST..
Cloud is decidedly a "close" corpora
ton.

John Arensdorf is on trial at Sioux
City for the murder of Rev. II. Had
dock. The defendant is an intluen-
tial brewer. The following is, in
brief, the story of the murder:
Rev. George c. Haddock was pastor of the
took to aid the Law aud Order league of this
city in their efforts TO help close up the sa-
looms that were violating the law. He served
as informer and prosecutor, collecting evil
dence and procuring injunctions against the
leading offenders. On the first of August
there were fifty injunction cases pending In
the courts of the county. On the night Of
August Srd Mr.. Haddock hired livery horse
and drove out of town to secure evidence for
the liquor cases that were to be brought the
next day. Returning about 10 O'Clock, the
night being dark and stormy, he was way
laid after leaving the stable and shot down
in cold blood, the bullet entering the bach
of his neck and coming oat near his mouth
producing almost instant death. 1t was gen
enerally believed that the murder was thu
result of a conspiracy of liquor sellers, bu
the evidence was not brought out at the IN
quest, A month or two, later II. l.. Leavitt
! a strolling playwright, was induced by offer
| of immunity to make sworn statement
| the facts as to the conspiracy and murder. Hi
story was that the crowd of conspirator
| went out to "do ups Mr.. Haddock, not to xii
| him. He went, as he said, "to see slugSin
| match and Witnessed q murder" He charge
| that the shooting was done by Arensdorf.

The Presidents recommendation
for the repeal of the presumption,
timber culture and desert land acts is
very timely, and that the homestead
laws be so amended AS to afford no
longer chance for evasion of the
provisions requiring actual cultivation
and continuous occupation for a Civ
en- period by the settler. 1t is motor
ious that hundreds of thousands of
acres of land have been appropriated
under the presumption act for the
purpose of speculation.

Annexation OF Idaho.
Winnemucca Silver State.


Some of the Idaho papers are los
ing their temper over the proposed
annexation Of portion of that Ter
ritors to, Nevada They abuse ex-
Senator Stewart ronndly for advocat-
ling the measure, but show no cause
whatever why it should not be con.
summated. Idaho newspapers, like
some here in Nevada, seem to labor
under the delusion that abuse is ar
gument, and that in picturing Stew
art as a monstrous vulture, intent on
tearing their Territory to pieces, they
are furnishing convincing proof to all
creation that Idaho would not be
benefited by uniting in Statehood
with Nevada. They do not, howev-
er, allege that annexation would af-
feet the interests of Idaho injurious
ly, and when they are In mood to
discuss the question nationally, they
will find the facts about as follows:
The Congress of the United States
admitted Nevada into the Union,
doubtless, believing that it would be
in few years one of the richest and
brightest in the constellation of States.
Though its mines have produced I'M
told millions, their proceeds have
been invested in other parts of the
country, and the expectations of Con-
gress have not been realized. While
its climate is healthy and its soil is
productive, when water can be had
for irrigating it, its population and
taxable property do not increase pro-
portionately with those of other new
States. The condition of Idaho is
similar in almost every respect to that
Of Nevada. The Territory was or
ganized in 1868, shortly after Nevada
was segregated from Utah and be-
fore it became a State. 1t has not
now, and does not expect to have for
many years to come, if ever, the pop
llation that would entitle it to State
hood, or the taxable property that
would enable it to support State
Government. Under such circum-
stances is is not advisable to annex a
part of it to Nevada, and thereby
benefit both by giving the people of
Idaho all the rights and privileges ac-
corded to citizens of a sovereign State,
md increasing the population and
'ssessable property of Nevada so that
elections cannot be decided by the
purchase of two or three hundred
'otes, and State Government can
De maintained without excessive tax
Ition? The interests of both are
and with the capital at Win
lemucoa, which would be about the
geographical center of the enlarged
State, and a railroad hence to Boise
City, the 1dahoans would have no
'ause of complaint whatever. t
Something must be done for Ne.
ada, and as Congress is responsible !
or its existence as State, it is its 5
luty to provide it with the means of +
State organization. |

JUDICIAL DUTY YELL PERFORMED.

4 JUDICIAL DUTY YELL PERFORMED.
When Justice Barrett delivered his charge
in the Jachne case he took occasion TO defend
trial by jury. 1t was in al respects a mem
orabc charge. Each piece of relevant tcsti-
mony was touched upon, and placed in its
proper light and relation before the jurors.
1t was admin able in lis tone, lifting them UP
to high plane Of duty and responsibility, and
keeping ever before them the fact that the adj
minis ration of justice was as much on trial as
the prisoner. The issue was received by Judge
Barrett as proof Of the correctness of his views
as to jury trials 1t was received by the pub
lie generally as proof of the wisdom of choos-
ing upright and able judges.
Too much can hardly be said in praise Of
Justice Barrett and his conduct Of great Grim
inal trials. His dignifed and serious presence.
his correct methods of thought, his impartial
temperament, and especially the high motives
he always brings to the adjudication Of causes
make him Judicial officer Of the. best type
The jury which sits before him is impressed
from the start with keen sense Of its solemn
duty, and soon feels that it is with him and
from his unprejudiced point of view part Of
the machinery Of public justice. Counsel arc
made to understand that only honest, straight
forward methods, such as are worthy of their
profession, can be tolerated there. Judge Bar
rctt meets the tricks and articles of disngcn-
uOus lawyers with a manner which seems In an
instant to lower the temperature OF the court
room to chilling point. The result OF these
methods is justice. The innocent go forth free
and untaintcd. The guilty go to deserved pun
ichp,ont To .lusfice Rartctt the
appear as a vindication of trial by jury. To
the people it is striking lesson upon the ne
cessity of preserving year by year conscicn-
tious bench, fearless in the performance of It's
Obligations and mentally well-equippcd.
There IS general notion, which attorneys
representing guilty defendants do their utmost
to encourage, that judge is expected TO DIS
charge merely the functions of presiding
officer. Nothing could bc more erroneous. and
yet it is difficult to define in words the precise
relation he sustans to the cause adjudicated.
In deciding and enforcing the law and the rules
Of evidence he must be absolutely impartial.
The jurors are the judges of all questions Of
fact and the Judge cannot righifully cncroach
upon their proper domain. But it is his duty
throughout the trial to keep the main issue
constantly before their minds so distinctly as
to enable them to perceive readily the relation
Of all testimony to the crime alleged. 1t is his
duty so to review the evidence as to give every
material fact on both sides all the weight to
which it is entitled, and to set the facts be-
fore the jury SO that their bearing upon each
other and their general effect may lie readily
perceived.
In tho bribery cases now being tried, the
evidence is complex. No isolated fact in itself

bresehe. Indeed. 30 weIl-informed man 90
Henry George has recently declared that tho
:" horrors of chattcl slavery never matched tne
horrors Of the slavery of the workingman 70
day. In connection with assertions IKE tnlS'
glance at the reports of eight New-York CITY
savings banks for 1886, sent to The TRIBUNE
from Albany, is instructive. Tho increased
savings Of last year run away up into the mil,
IONS and the number of depositors is increased
In some cases by thousands over those OF 1880
There is no reason to doubt that the same pros
perity will be indicated by the reports OF tne
institutions still to be heard from. Yet iast
year was remarkable for the number OF Strikes
lockouts and tieups in this city, and thousands
of working people must have been idle great
part of the time. If their wages for the rest OF
the year were not " living wages " how ana
they manage to lay up these enormous sums
